Keyboard Shortcuts

Zack demonstrates how to forward your outside emails to your different Trello boards and cards in your post-production workflow and how to add your Trello email address to your address book and shorten the amount of time it takes to forward an e-mail directly to your Trello board. Forwarding emails to your boards gives all of your team members access to the most important information and eliminates the need for email threads.
